Julia Kreuz and Sho Alli open the show by previewing the Blue Jays–Dodgers series and making the case for John Schneider as Manager of the Year, citing his in-game moves and clubhouse culture. They also discuss Jen Pawol’s debut as MLB’s first female umpire before taking your text questions (31:02). After the break, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi (50:02) checks in post-deadline on how the Jays’ new rotation pieces fit, their chances in a tight AL East, and other playoff races around the league. To close, MLB.com Dodgers reporter Sonja Chen (1:15:42) previews the Scherzer–Kershaw matchup, how Los Angeles is navigating an up-and-down stretch marked by inconsistent play and injuries, and Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound.
